Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I w[G]ent[D]
[A]dow[D]n to the river
to watch the fish swim by
But when I [G]got to the river,
so lonesome
I wanted to [D]die, oh lord
And then I [A]jumped in the river,
but the doggone river was [D]dry
I had me a woman, she couldn't be true
She made me for my money
and she made me blue
A [G]man needs a woman
that he can lean on
But my [D]leaning post is done
and [A]left and gone
[D]And she's long gon[G]e
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue

[Interlude 1]

[A][D]

[Verse 2]
Gonna [D]find me a river,
one that's cold as ice
When I [G]find me that river, Lord,
I'm gonna pay the [D]price so low.
I'm going [A]down in it three times
but I'm only coming up [D]five.
She told me on Sunday
she was checking me out.
Along about Monday
she was nowhere about.
And [G]here it is Tuesday,
ain't had no news.
[D]Got them gone but not for
[A]gotten [D]blues.
She's a long
Gone, [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome, [D]too

[Outro 1]
